From the Baltimore American of Friday.
At the President Street depot of the Phila
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
this morning, a large crowd was assembled in
anticipation of the arrival of a large number
of the troops from New York and Massachu
setts. Shortly after 11 o'clock the train from
Philadelphia, comprising 29 cars, arrived at
the depot. Without disembarking the soldiers
from the train, the severall cars had horses at
tached, and about nine were drawn along Pratt
street to the Camden station. The first six
being permitted to be drawn along without
creating any marked objection.
From some reason the horses attached to the
seventh car became restive, and were taken
out from the car at Pratt street bridge, and
the car moved 'without their aid to within a
stort distance of Gay street. Between Gay
and Frederick streets a number of laborers were
engaged in repairing the bed of the street, and
just at the moment when the car reached Gay
street, they were engaged in removing the cob
ble stones from the principal portion of the
street. Some thirty or forty men assembled
at this point, having followed the car from the
depot, and, with cheers for Davis and the
Southern Confederacy, hurled bitter taunts at
the Northern Black Republicans, as they termed
them. The troops remained in perfect silence.
This continued for several minutes, when, as
the horses were again attached and the car
moved off, it was proposed to stone it. Before
the car had gone twenty yards almost every
window therein was broken to pieces, and a
portion of the crowd followed a considerable
distance hurling paving stones. Those persons
not in uniform who were standing on the plat
form hastily jumped off to avoid the shower of
stones. The eighth car was treated in the
same manner, but the ninth car apparently be
ing empty, or at least no person being visible
except the driver of the team, escaped with only
one stone thrown. The crowd exulted in their
work, exclaiming that the Black Republicans
should not pass through Maryland. A lapse
of five minutes succeeded, a nu tabei-of respect
able persons urging the crowd to tear up the
track.
THE TRACK TORN UP
After the first train had passed, a second one
was observed on Pratt street bridge, when
anchors were dragged on the track at the cor
ner of Gay street, and a part of the track taken
up. Observing this the cars were turned back
to the Pr )sident Street Depot, and the men dis
embarked, and prepared to march through the
city.
Mayor Brown, with a number of police, ap
peared at their head and led the way. They
came along at a brisk pace, and when they
reached Market Space an immense concourse
of people closed in behind them and commenced
stoning them.
Wben they reached Gay street, where the
track had been torn up, a large crowd of Inv
armed with paving stones showered them on
their heads with such force that several of them
were knocked down in the ranks. After lying
a row xneroonts, they crowded into some of the
stores on Pratt street.
After they fell there was no further attack
made on them, and those thus 'wounded were
taken to apothecary stores for medical attend
ance.
-At the corner of South and Pratt streets a
man fired a pistol into the ranks of the military,
when those in the rear ranks immediately
wheeled and fired upon their assailants and
several were wounded.
The guns of. the soldiers that had fallen
wounded were seized, and fired upon the ranks
with fatal effect in two or three instances.
After they reached Calvert street they suc
ceeded in checking their pursuers by a rapid
fire, which brought down two or three, and
were not much molested until they reached
Howard street, where another large crowd was
assembled, some stones were thrown at them
but their guns were not loaded, and they passed
on through the dense crowd down Howard
street towards the depot.
The scene on Pratt street was of the most
startling character. The wounded soldiers,
three in number, were taken up carefully, and
carried to places of safety by the citizens along
the street.
SCENES AT THE CAMDEN STATION
The announcement made by a number ofper
eons that a large body of troops would certainly
pass through on the way to Washington at
tracted an immense mass of persons. They
were stretched along to such an extent that it
would be difficult to compute them; however,
the number could scarcely be less than six or
Seven thousand.
A large detachment of the police, under the
direction of Marshal Kane soon appeared, and
orders were given to clear the tracks near the
main depot building. This was done, and soon
after a large passenger car of the Philadelphia
and Baltimore railroad company, came up at a
rilpid rate, filled with the soldiers. This car
was soon followed by about sixteen more, all
of which were also occupied by the military.
Upon inquiring, it was ascertained that they
consisted of a regiment of Massachusetts In
fantry, the Sixth, commanded by Col. E. F.
Jcnes and Lieut. Col. Shutruck, in all eleven
companies, with an aggregate of 860 men, rank
and file. Soon as the train arrived some of
the troops were compelled to change cars,
when they were hooted at by the crowd, but
no overt act was committed. Several young
men appeared at one of the cars and displayed
revolvers, whereupon a captain of one of the
companies drew his sword and declared he
would protect his men, soon after which the
train was ready to start, under charge of Col.
Shutt, assisted by Richard Armstrong.
Many expected that the train would start
immediately, but it did not move until about
half-past twelve, the delay being occasioned by
the tact that President Garrett had received
information that a large crowd of excited men
had determined to tear up the track and blow
up the bridges, and thereby prevent the pas
sage of the train. In fact the principal officers
of the company took position in the steeple in
the depot of the building and perceived the
parties moving along towards the wooden
bridges beyond the Spring Gardens.
They were quickly followed by a large de
tachment of police, who seemed determined to
prevent them from injuring the road. During
this time the crowd increased in number and
the excitement grew intense.
In a few minutes after the train left the dis
charge of fire-arms attracted the attention of
the crowd to the corner of Pratt and Howard
streets, where a body of infantry from one of
the Northern States, about one hundred and
fifty strong, were seen rapidly approaching
tho depot, and no doubt anxious to reach the
cars.
The excitement now was beyond description,
and a man displaying the flag of the Confede
rate States seemed to be the rallying point of
the disaffected people. Some of these assaulted
the command with stones, when a number of
the• latter discharged their muskets. At least
twenty shots were fired, but as far as we could
learn no person was injured.
A horse at the intersection of the streets
was struck by a ball and rendered helpless.
There seemed to be but little discipline among
the troops, especially as they rushed along
pell-mell. Whilst they were entering the cars
a crowd of young men gave them several vol
leys of bricks and stones, some of which de
molished the windows of the cars, whereupon
three or four of the men pointed their muskets
through the car windows and fired. They
aimed deliberately at the crowd, but no one
was injured.
Whilst this body was passing near the cor
ner of Pratt and Charles streets, they got into
collision with the crowd, and firing took place.
Ono of the soldiers, named Robbins, of a com
pany from Stonington, Conn., was wounded in
the back part of the head and fell to•the ground.
He was taken into the apothecary establishment
of Messrs. Sweetzer & Co., and received the
attention of Prof. Dunbar, who stated at the
time we left that he was dying. He was a fine
looking man, and very calm and composed.--
The train of the second detachment left about
one and a quarter o'clock.

One of the members of Company D, of the

NO MORE TROOPS
The several railroad companies have posi
tively refused to transport any more troops
through the city to Washington.
MARTIAL LAN PROCLAIMED.
Governor Hicks, immediately on the an
nouncement of the doings on Pratt street, pro
claimed Martial Law. The military, at the
time we are going to press, are promptly re
sponding at their armories.
No more troops will be allowed to pass
through the city, and probably no more attempt
will be made to move them this way.
It becomes every good citizen to unite with
the military in calming the excitement and re
storing order and quiet. The Mayor and police
will act in conjuction with the military authority
of the State.
Our city has been the scene this morning of
a terrible tragedy. The blood of our citizens
has been shed, and that last event has happened
which must now bring us all together as Alaty
landers.
PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT-BLOCAADE
OF THE SECEDED PORTS.
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The President has
issued a proclamation stating that, whereas, an
insurrection against the Government of the
United States has broken out in the States of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and the laws of
the United States for the collection of the
revenue cannot be effectually executed therein,
conformably to that provision of the Constitu
tion which requires the duties to, be uniform
throughout the United States; and further,
that a combination of persons, engaged in such
insurrection, have threatened to grant pre
tended letters of marque,.to authorize the bear
ers thereof to commit assaults on the lives, ves
sels and property of good citizens of the coun
try, lawfully engaged in commerce on the high
seas and in the waters of the United States ;
and whereas, the President says, an Executive
proclamation has been already issued, requi
ring the persons engaged in these diAorderly
proceedings to desist therefrom, calling out a
militia force for the purpose of repressing the
same, and convening Congress in extraordinary
session to deliberate and determine thereon, the
President, with a view to the same pur
before mentioned, and to the protection of the
public peace, and the lives and property of the
orderly citizens pursuing their lawful occupa
tions, until Congress shall have assembled and
deliberated on the said unlawful proceedings,
or until the same shall have ceased, he has
further deemed it advisable to set on foot a
blockade of the ports within the States afore
said, in pursuance of the laws of the United
States, and law of nations in such cases provi
ded. For this purpose a competent force will
he posted so as to prevent the entrance or exit
of vessels from the ports aforesaid. If, there
fOre, with a view to violate such blockade, any
vessel shall attempt to leave any of the said
ports, she will be duly warned by the com
mander of one of said blockading vessels, who
will endorse on her register the fact and date
of such warning; and if the same vessel shall
again attempt to enter or leave the blockaded
port, she will be captured and sent to the near
est convenient port for such proceedings against
her and her cargo as may be deemed advisable.
THE MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2, A. M.—Upon call
ing the roll of the Massachusetts Regiment,
which has been baptized in blood in its attempt
to obey the summons of the President of the
United States, to repair to Washington to de
fend the national capital from attack by fren
zied rioters, it is found that not many men
have been left in Baltimore besides the band.
• Captain Dyke, of Stoneham, telegraphs from
the Monumental City of Ruffianism that he is
wounded, but in good hands, and will recover.
The companies from Lowell and Stoneham had
the hardest part of the fight, having the colors
of the regiment to guard and defend, which the
mob tried to aim. It is feared that privates
Whitney, of Stoneham, and Stevens, of Lowell,
ere killed. Twenty of the wounded, both offi
cers and privates, are in the infirmary here,
suffering from every description of wounds,
both by atones and bullets. None of them,

however, are dangerously hurt, and they have
the best surgical and medical attendance.
The men are in good spirits and ready for
duty. The lion in them is roused, and the
words will be in the future, "Remember Bal

the affair is the disappointment at the treat
ment they received. The entire regiment had

to be supported by a majority in the State.
THE HARPER'S FERRY GARRISON AT CARLISLE
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION-BURNING OF FIF-
TEEN THOUSAND STAND 01' ARMS
CARLISLE, April 19.—Lieut. Jones, late in
command of Harper's Ferry, arrived here at
three o'clock this afternoon, with his command,
consisting of forty-three men. Lieut. Jones
having been advised that a force of twenty-five
hundred troops had been ordered by Governor
Letcher to take possession of Harper's Ferry,
and finding his position •t o be untenable, under
directions of the War Department, he destroyed
all the munitions of war, the Armory, Arsenal,
and all the buildings. He withdrew his com
mand under cover of the night, and almost in
the presence of twenty-five hundred troops. He
lost three men. Fifteen thousand stand of arms
were destroyed.
They made a forced march of thirty miles
last night, from Harper's Ferry to Hagerstown,
31d.
Lieut. Jones and his command have endured
great fatigue, and accomplished a great work,
in preventing the arms and property from fall
ing into the hands of the rebels.
They were enthusiastically received by the
entire population.
Lieut. Jones is the late Adjutant General
of the United States Army, and may be said
almost to have been born in the army.
He says that as the Federal troops rushed
across the Potomac bridge, the Harper's Ferry
people dashed into the Arsenal. He believes
that a large number must have perished, as
repeated explosions were heard. He saw the
light of the burning buildings for many miles.
The following additional particulars of the
burning of the Harper's Ferry Armory, are
furnished by Lieut. Jones, now at Carlisle Bar
racks.
Lieut. Jones says that he learned, yesterday,
that six hundred Virginians were approaching
by the Winchester road, to seize the Arsenal.—
He immediately placed piles of powder and
straw in all the buildings, and waited patiently
the approach of the enemy. The picket guard
having given the alarm, the garrison set fire to
the out-houses and carpenter shops' the fuses
beginning to burn when he commenced his re
treat.
The citizens of Harper's Ferry were evidently
in league with the party advancing to seize the
Arsenal, and were instantly in arms anti fol
lowed the soldiers. Two of the Regulars were
killed by their fire, and two others deserted
before the troops reached Hagerstown. They
marched all night, and, missing the train at
Hagerstown, took omnibusses to Chambersburg
to-day, much exhausted by their night march.
They were entertained by the people of Cham
bersburg, and received with louts cheers along
the route.
The assault on the Massachusetts troops at
Baltimore occasions intense excitement among
the 3,000 troops now at Camp Curtin. They
swear terrible vengeance.
Fifteen hundred Virginia troops have taken
possession of the town of Harper's Ferry.—
They stop trains and examine them. Two
schooners laden with timber were seized at
Brashear City by the rebels.
LOUISVILLE, April 19.—Governor Magoffin
is here trying to get the banks to lend half a
million dollars, to arm the State for its defence.
It is supposed that some arrangement will be
made.
An immense Union meeting was held last
night. Speeches were made by Messrs Guthrie,
Nicholas, Bullock, Brown and others.
Resolutions were unanimously adapted de
claring that as the Confederate States com
menced the war with the Federal Government,
Kentucky has the right to choose her position,
and acknowledge herself as loyal until the
Government becomes the aggressor. Kentucky
must, therefore, oppose the call of the Govern
ment for volunteers for the purpose of coercion,
and also the raising of troops here to co-ope
rate with a Southern Confederacy, when the
acknowledged intention of the latter is to march
on Washington; that secession is the remedy
for no evils; that Kentucky will not take part
against the Federal Government; that she
should maintain an independent position within
the Union, against the Administration and
against the seceded States, declaring her soil
sacred against the hostile tread of either, and.
that Kentucky should be armed in accordance
with law.

WHEELING, Va., April N.—The Mayor has
issued a proclamation calling on all good citi
zens to preserve the pence, and abstain from
discussing exciting topics. The Stars and
Stripes are generally displayed, and a strong
Union feeling prevails. Union military com
panies are forming, and one has been organ
ized as a home guard. Our delegates, Messrs.
Hubbard and Clemens, returned from Richmond
to-day, and were warmly received.
The news from Baltimore of the attack on
the troops created indignation.
WastrtmaroN, April 19.—A gentleman, who
arrived here to-day from Richmond, says that
nothing is publicly known there as to the act
of secession excepting that it had passed with
from only 13 to 17 negative votes.
The people there, and all along the railroad,
are wild with excitement. Although the ordi
nance is to be submitted to the people in May,
yet this is now considered as of no consequence,
as practically Virginia is out of the Union.
A gentleman, just reached here from New
Orleans, represents that throughout the entire
line of the road the people are in a frenzy of
excitement' and loud for war.
MARRYING INCIDENT.—A clergyman in Glas
gow used to relate the followiugr—ln marry
lug a couple, he asked the bride, in the usual
form, whether she would be a loving' faithful,
and obedient wife." The bride promptly re
plied that she would promise to be loving and
faithful, but WOutll not venture on a pledge of
uniform obedience. The minister paused and
demured. "Justsay awn, sir," ejaculated the
bridegroom; has promised to be loviteand
faithfu,' Luca' thae fingers," raising his fist,
"gi n s h e 's no obedient 1" A similar narravtie in.
w hi c h the bribe proved the prevailing party
was told the late Dr Maclean, of the Gorbals,
Glagovr. The reverend doctor in marrying a
c ouple, failed to obtain any indication from the
bridegroom as to whether he would accept the
bride as his helpmate. After a considerable
pause, the bride, indignant at the stolidity of
her intended husband, down his head wiih her
hand' at the same addresing him alond, 'Canna

who being united to a stolid husbanb, was.
according to the testimony of the Rev. M _._.,
who performed the ceremony, more consid

having given no reaponce to the question by
the minister, "Do you take this woman to be
